% Depends on what you mean by tolerant. What I was referring to is the
% practice of quitely glossing over markup errors (such as missing
% closing quotes in attribute literal values), even at the cost of
% misinterpreting correct HTML. This is *bad* *bad* *bad*!
I found out that lynx is very untolerant, so I use it to spot errors in my
